Bench Press 140x5,5 160x5,5,5
Bicep Curl 20x5,5 30x3,4,4
Deadlift 150x20
Standing Calf Raise 310x20,20

My second set on bench was weak after a bad first rep, but I got it up. I'm amazed.

No idea what's up with my biceps.

Deadlift was easy this time around!

Squat 135x5,5 155x5,5,5
Bent-Over Row 130x5,5 150x5,5,5
Dip 20x5,5 40x5,5,5
Shrug 45x5,5 65x5,5,5

My ass was "I think I'm going to cry" sore, but I still beat the 155 squat. I'm happy.

Weighed in at 140 yesterday, 150 this morning, 145 this afternoon. I'm averaging that to 145. My diet's been all over the place, and I was really lean two weeks ago, but I'm fatten.. getting back on track now.

be patient - the squats will suddenly jump by like 10 pounds...

bishonen... Looks like this program is working really well for you...Great job.. Its always extremely motivating to see your poundages take a sudden jump....

Unless you're clumsy and break/sprain one of your toes.

I'll see how this really affects me on Sunday morning.

Bench Press 145x5,5 165x5,3,2
Biceps Curl 20x5,5 30x5,5,5
Deadlift 155x20
Standing Calf Raise 310x-

Finally hit a plateau on my bench press, which I was getting worried wasn't going to happen.

After 5 weeks I beat the biceps curl.

Deadlift went up like it wasn't there for all 20 reps.

And in my continuing efforts to NOT TEMPT FATE, since that's worked so poorly for me in the past, I skipped the calf raises. I'll just wait until my toe is healed before I mess around with anything so potentially injurious.

Squat 140x5,5 160x5,5,5
Bent-Over Row 135x5,5 155x5,5,5
Dip 25x5,5 45x5,5,5
Shrug 50x5,5 70x5,5,5

I hate shrugs.

When doing squats, someone walked up to me and asked if 'doing them like that hurts your knees.'

"Nope. "
